"I placed the infant in an orphanage, never to see her again. I thought the ruby might afford her some ease in life, but I never imagined she'd take those scribblings and make a life of her own. Life that's led her back to me."

"Carina Smyth, you are an orphan born of the devil - accused of practicing witchcraft! Before you die, do you have anything to confess?""I confess that I am not a witch. That I'm a woman of science. I confess that I have survived on my own, with nothing but a diary from a father I never knew. On a quest for the truth of who I am. I confess that I will die before I give up this search. And I confess that while we've been talking I picked this lock."

"Sir, your celestial fix was off. I have adjusted two degrees north. Your map will no longer be imprecise. Although you will have to start again with it.""You're a witch.""No, I'm not. Am I a witch for having cataloged over two hundred stars?""Witch!""There is a blood moon coming. I simply need to purchase a chronometer. I'll pay you double for selling to a woman."

"From this moment on we are to be allies.""Considering where your left hand is I'd say we're more than that.""We'll find the Trident together. Do I have your word?""You're holding everything but my word."

"This chronometer keeps the exact time in London. I'm using it to make an altitude measurement to determine longitude. Only then will we find our exact spot at sea.""So you expect to find the trident with a timepiece?""Yes."

"Captain, your map is incomplete. I can take us to the Trident if you'd only trust me. Did you not hear anything I just said?""So you be saying that star is pretendin' to be a map?""Sir, there is no island on any map to support what the woman says.""Captain, you don't have to understand her. Just believe her."

"The memory of my father will not be defiled by the tongue of a pirate! This diary is my birthright. Left to me on the steps of a children's home, along with a name and nothing else.""Oh, so you're an orphan. What be you called?""The brightest star in the North gave me my name.""That would be Carina.""Carina Smyth. So you do know your stars.""I'm a captain. I know which stars to follow home."
